Russia fielded a mixed team to the tournament in Cologne because the current Virtus.pro lineup has got three Ukrainian players in it. Two VP players teamed up with three other Russians and came to Germany to represent their country.
On their first day they managed to win the group after beating every team in the group, including x6tence from Spain. On Saturday, they will face k23 from Kazakhstan and then possibly eSTRO from Korea, the favourites of the WCG.
